Synopsis uitgever

McInerny describes his studies in philosophy and provides a lucid explanation for lay people of how modern philosophers have lost their way. He discusses the great work done by Vatican II and how it has, in some sense, lost its way by an emphasis on the spirit, ignoring the texts themselves. . . . This book is recommended to all readers, especially those interested in the paths taken by Vatican II and modern philosophy. "Catholic Library World""Meer lezen...
